In this outspoken and challenging book, Sarah Nelson argues that
progress in addressing childhood sexual abuse has been in fearful
or complacent retreat and that change is urgently needed in order
to prevent abuse occurring, and to better support survivors. From
this starting point, she puts forward radical suggestions for new
models of practice. These are designed to provide
perpetrator-focussed child protection, to encourage community
approaches to prevention, and to better support those who have
survived abuse. As revelations of widespread child abuse continue
to emerge at an unprecedented rate, this book campaigns for change,
offering policy makers and practitioners solutions for new ways in
tackling sexual abuse, working alongside survivors to reduce its
prevalence and impact.
In this outspoken and challenging book, Sarah Nelson argues that
progress in addressing childhood sexual abuse has been in fearful
or complacent retreat. She proposes new models for child-centred,
perpetrator-focussed child protection, for community prevention,
for understanding physical ill-health and for work with
survivor-offenders. This book will inspire policy makers,
practitioners, academics and journalists to rediscover courage in
tackling child sexual abuse.
A traveling salesman with little formal education, Max Hunter
gravitated to song catching and ballad hunting while on business
trips in the Ozarks. Hunter recorded nearly 1600 traditional songs
by more than 200 singers from the mid-1950s through the mid-1970s,
all the while focused on preserving the music in its unaltered
form. Sarah Jane Nelson chronicles Hunter's song collecting
adventures alongside portraits of the singers and mentors he met
along the way. The guitar-strumming Hunter picked up the recording
habit to expand his repertoire but almost immediately embraced the
role of song preservationist. Being a local allowed Hunter to merge
his native Ozark earthiness with sharp observational skills to
connect--often more than once--with his singers. Hunter's own
ability to be present added to that sense of connection. Despite
his painstaking approach, ballad collecting was also a source of
pleasure for Hunter. Ultimately, his dedication to capturing Ozarks
song culture in its natural state brought Hunter into contact with
people like Vance Randolph, Mary Parler, and non-academic
folklorists who shared his values.

What constitutes real recovery for adult victims of abuse? Current
support offered to adults is often poorly planned and informed;
this book sheds light on the true impact of abuse and how it can be
healed. Good Practice in Promoting Recovery and Healing for Abused
Adults explores the idea of 'recovery' being something physical in
the short-term and 'healing' as an emotional process for long-term
work. The book features chapters written by practitioners and
researchers from various backgrounds and gives an insight into how
to be creative in helping both male and female victims through
recovery and healing processes. The prologue introduces the views
of victims themselves before the opening chapter considers how
recovery and healing should fit into the adult safeguarding
process. The chapters then describe creative therapeutic methods
which can be employed to help victims recover and to heal in
different settings, whilst highlighting the long-term effects of
abuse and the subsequent issues to be addressed. The issues covered
range from child sexual abuse, domestic abuse and sex trafficking
to the abuse of men and holocaust victims. With pedagogical
features throughout, the book is essential reading for social
workers, nurses, housing officers, support workers, counsellors,
therapists, and for anyone working with adults who have experienced
abuse in childhood or adulthood.
